The Empire Goes to War on All Fronts!
Four Heavens later.
The entire Imperial Capital is centered around the imperial palace, covering an area of 10,000 square kilometers.
They have been transferred to another dimension by the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock'.
However, due to the presence of the illusory image, nothing appears to change from the outside.
But if you step inside, you'll find that apart from the ground, there is no other physical matter here, and you can pass through any building or wall without any hindrance.
At the same time.
The eight light gates, located in different directions and of different colors, were surrounded by small, hastily constructed city walls.
Outside were large numbers of troops armed with automatic weapons, while inside were disciples of the Imperial Fist Temple Imperial Guard members who used Teigu. Unauthorized personnel were strictly prohibited from approaching within a radius of 300 meters.
At this time.
The sky in this other dimension is golden, illuminated by a faint, ever-present golden light even without the sun. The only downside is the absence of night.
Below, in the southeast direction of the Imperial Capital that had been moved in, there suddenly appeared a lush green meadow, where various Danger Beasts resembling cattle, sheep, and horses roamed freely.
This is because of the several small spaces within the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock. Ghost Valley Spring and Autumn'.
Ever since it was designated as a "strategic Teigu" by the "Sacred Emperor" six hundred years ago, it has been continuously developed by emperors throughout the ages.
Apart from the 'Gate of Death', which was abandoned because it contained nothing but lava and fire.
Although the environments of the other Seventh Gate spaces also had their own disadvantages, they still managed to make use of them in various ways.
Among them, the environment of the 'Gate of Life' is the most beautiful.
Not only is the climate warm, but the soil is also extremely fertile, with large areas of herbaceous plants, making it ideal for animal husbandry and agriculture.
With the mindset of "better safe than sorry," the emperors of the empire developed this place as the last granary for the royal family.
That way, no matter what happens in the future, even if the country is destroyed.
As long as the clansmen successfully escape with the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock,' they can live a very comfortable life even if they live in anonymity.
The only problem is ensuring that the user of the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock' Teigu is a member of the Imperial Family or someone loyal to the Imperial Family.
This is difficult.
But it's not like there's no way out.
In addition, other 'strategic Teigu's are also like this, namely 'Dimensional Array: Shangri-La', 'World Encyclopedia: Rongorongo', and 'Ascle'.
They are collectively known as the 'Four Great Strategic Teigu'!
Oath Hall of the Imperial Palace.
The Emperor, Budo, Najenda, Shao'er, Ezra, Dr. Stylish, and others gathered again, but the atmosphere was unusually oppressive and serious. Everyone was frowning and staring coldly at the five lifelike images on the table.
The above footage shows the entire process of Bullet combining with the snow mountain to become a 'thousand-meter Titans' and then blocking the 'Fivefold Rotary Furnace' head-on.
"General Budo, are you capable of dealing with this monster?"
Governor Shao'er couldn't help but raise his head and ask in a deep voice, only to see General Budo take a deep breath, shake his stiff neck, and say in a low voice, "I can't do it, and neither can Brand, Esdeath, or the others."
"This must be the Admiral combat strength those prisoners were talking about. I heard that each of their three major military branches—the army, navy, and air force—has three Admiral, plus Fleet Admiral, that makes four. If you add them all together..."
Najenda's face was very pale, and she couldn't bring herself to say anything; the number was simply too despairing!
"Truly a terrifying force capable of launching wars of aggression across the globe."
Ezra, the treasurer, shook his head rather negatively, now beginning to think that they were no match for the World Government at all.
"But I do think we are not without the power to fight back. The damage that the 'Five-Path Rotary Furnace' in your picture caused him is such that if we had fired two of them back then, we might have been able to kill him outright!"
The emperor picked up the fifth sheet of paper and waved it around, his cold expression transforming into a gentle smile.
"But Your Majesty, although the 'Five-Path Rotary Furnace' can be mass-produced, our Academy of Sciences of Sciences can only manufacture one per year. Including the five... no, four in our current inventory, we can only use a maximum of five this year."
The Dr. Stylish stroked his chin and said softly.
"Five. If two of them can take down one of their Admiral, then we now have the ability to kill two of Admiral. Add my Teigu, and that makes three Admiral!"
The emperor slowly rose, his gaze sweeping over the assembled high-ranking officials. His expression was firm as he said, "I believe this gives us leverage in negotiations. Even the World Government wouldn't dare to easily lose three of its Admiral, would they?"
"That's true."
Governor Shao'er agreed, stating that they should have the capability to bring the other side to the negotiating table.
Budo, Najenda, and the others nodded in agreement.
What they didn't know was that the emperor's ultimate trump card wasn't what he was saying, but rather the greatest trump card that the 'Sacred Emperor' of six hundred years ago had secured for the empire.
"Moreover, although the number of 'Five-Path Rotary Furnace' is not large, we have a lot of conventional missiles, rockets, and howitzers, which can completely carpet bomb them!"
"We still have so many Three Armies forces, Teigu users, the Imperial Fist Temple, Danger Beasts units, the technology of the Academy of Sciences, our fleet, plus the two countries that are about to unite!"
The more the emperor spoke, the more confident he became, finally shouting with an extremely inspiring expression.
"Gentlemen, although that World Government has conquered multiple worlds, we can easily make them grit their teeth here in our world, then cower back to their own world, never daring to set foot here again!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Budo, Najenda, and the others knelt down and shouted in unison.
The next day.
The Emperor officially issued an imperial edict, revealing the World Government's information to the entire Empire, and simultaneously issued an order to wage war against the World Government.
Army General Brand in the west and Navy Admiral Esdeath of the Navy in the east also began to move troops and fleets to the north of the Empire.
Meanwhile, in the mountains on both sides of the Magu Heights, ballistic missiles equipped with conventional warheads were pulled out by the missile force soldiers using their strength and Danger Beasts.
At the same time.
The western Alchemi Kingdom also dispatched a large force led by the state Alchemists to the Tohoku Plato Region, while the Shenwa Island Country nations were still hesitant and discussing the matter.
This world, codenamed 'Teigu' by the World Government, finally reacted fiercely to the emergence of the World Government.
On this side of the Star Gate.
The five major divisions and their ten brigades, which had just been reorganized into the '1st Main Battle Legion of the Army,' were also using the magical effect of the 'Shrinking Tunnel' to send 60,000 troops and 50,000 auxiliary troops to this place day and night, like black water!
"The Fourth Otherworld"
This day.
A man over three meters tall, with a robust build, wearing a red suit and a black overcoat, exuding a cold and imposing aura, walked out of the Biochemical Safety Station alone.
"Admiral Akainu!"
Bullet stepped forward to greet them expressionlessly, followed by a group of Vice Admiral, Rear Admiral, and Commodore generals.
"Hmm, not bad."
Sakazuki, also a man of few words, simply offered a compliment in a calm tone, then asked Bullet, who was following behind him, as he walked forward.
"How's the Titans villa I asked you to prepare coming along?"
"Ready!"
